hi,
very good, this is the first amarok controller that work with plasma on my kde4. The only thing is that work without album cover :(
Any ideas?
thanks
I've got a plasmoid that I wrote for Amarok 2, and this is how I display the cover art. My plasmoid is always displaying a no cover blank cd, and if the album you're listening to has album art it displays on top of that, hiding it. If you're listening to last.fm, it displays a generic last.fm cover. It also doesn't depend on any absolute paths since it gets all paths directly from Amarok. Hope this helps.

Ok... it might be because your Amarok 2 version is too old.
I know it might sound strange, but support for fetching the current track art was implemented very recently.

Hmm... what's the path to your local kde directory? On my distro it is .kde4, perhaps this path is a different one for you?

yes, it's /home/f1l0/.kde4 for me too (i'm using mandriva 2009) thanks
